I still have a cough. I am getting kind of sick of it. I should be better by now, but this little tickle seems to not want to go away. I didn't do as well on my last exam than I thought that I would do, but I am still above average. I will get a B in the class or better. The material this week is daunting. It will test my abilities for sure. I am overall happy. I need to get my mind into the now. Sometimes it seems like I am stuck, but I know Endrit and I are in our perfect position.
Our landlords are completely re-doing the bathroom in the apartment next to ours. We have thin walls so the construction is really loud. We know that when we are out of the apartment they will definately be re-doing some things in our apartment. It definately needs work, but we are great with the accomodations as they stand right now. We have everything that we need.
One of our neighbors just bought a Mazda Miata and I love Endrit and I's reaction to finding out about the purchase. We both thought of it as a waste of money. The people who bought it are our ages...almost to the birthdays. Similar situation as us...obviously they make a little more money than Endrit's stipend, but they have no children and they are slowly going to school. Endrit and I agreed that if we had that money it wouldn't be going to a car. We would buy our starter house. At this point we are planning on not having a starter house. Endrit should make enough money that we won't need an upgrade once all of our kids get here. We hate paying rent all the time, but we would have to move to the other side of the valley to get a house in our price range and it would be less cost effective with the traveling. I just couldn't believe that status would be so important to someone. They went on a 16 day trip to Hawaii during the last semester. They would do better to save it but that is my opinion only and I hope I don't offend anyone who reads this.
I believe that I only have 1 more year of hard classes...other than my student teaching. This semester I have physics. Next semester I have Human Genetics and Physics labs. The semester after that I have Field Methods. I am pretty sure that I will have a relatively easy year after that with my education classes before I have to get into my main student teaching year. I guess that is the schedule you get when you pick a relatively hard major. I have to say that it is definately pushing my love of science to the brink. I know that after going to school I will probably cry out of joy when I recieve that diploma. I again will cry out of joy when Endrit gets his PhD because I know how hard he has worked at his degrees so far. It is amazing the amount of knowledge he has in his head. I wish to have half of his knowledge and patience when it comes to the harder sciences.
Honestly I hate to admit this where many people will read it, but when school is hard, usually I want a baby. I don't know why this is, but it is. I love to cuddle with Dexter when times are hard, but he isn't very cuddlie sometimes. A baby usually likes to cuddle. I am still glad that at this point I don't have kids. Many things would be much harder to accomplish. I just see Endrit and how well he does with kids and I look too far ahead and get stuck. I guess it is easier to think about an idealized future than a hard present. I personally don't like to sit around and think about my physics. Everything has a time that is different for everyone. I will not be getting an ESL degree unless it take Endrit a year longer to get his degree. Then we would have to see. I will not be taking any more summer classes. I think that I need to get a job during the summers to get a larger savings account going so that we will have a down payment for a house. I also like to contribute to the household, and so far I have not been able to do that for a little less than a year. It is nice to not have a job, but I like to be adding to the family fund. If we want a house and a child soon after graduation we will need a good savings account to cover expenses. It will be a nice switch from school to work for the summer for a break. It will be 1 year 9 months since I have had a break from school when I finish these next few semesters. I think that by that time I will need a break. Endrit still hasn't grasped that all he has left to do with school is research. only a 1 credit class and research. He is used to only research in the summer. He has been doing that for the last 4 years. He started with Josh Pak the summer that I met him. He still talks about how weird it will be to be in a regular semester and not needing to study. I say he should stay at work as long as I am studying so that he can try to keep to a Mayish 2011 graduation. He could graduate in May but not defend his thesis until later on in the summer. It is odd, but that is how it works here.
School is school. Sorry for such a long post. It has been a rough day. It is just my random mind babble. I now feel much better and ready to tackle today's assignment. Homework everyday isn't too much fun, but tis the life of a summer school student. All is well.
